The late 1980s and early '90s saw the move from vinyl records to Compact Discs and guitars were augmented with samplers.
Flying Nun Records relocate from Christchurch to Auckland, and the choice between growing the company, or reducing the number of bands on the label is made - Flying Nun moves from independent ownership to major-label association, and the first artist contracts are signed!
Flying Nun music is practically mainstream in New Zealand (despite not being played on commercial radio), and there is the very real chance that some of the acts on the label could find success overseas.
